Projects

A project is a collaborative enterprise that brings together certain people, groups or communities. A project is normally connected to one or multiple Villages. You can use a project page to describe the different things which go on in your village, besides Self-organized Sessions and regular camping.

Please browse through this list to find interesting projects, but even more important: Browse through the camp-site and and have a chat with the people from the projects you found interesting!

If you work on some project on Camp or just want to show on what you are usually working, you're encouraged to tell others about your presence and what you're doing.

The Anelok project aims to build a small portable password safe that stores accounts and passwords, and can retrieve and use them in various ways (via display, USB, RF). In order to ensure maximum reviewability (and also because it's The Right Thing To Do), the project follows an "open everything" approach, with source code, hardware design, artwork, development process, and also the tools we use being openly available.

A simple but cool (and inexpensive) (and hackable) music synthesizer kit. Intended for people who: want to learn to solder, want to make cool noises and music, and optionally want to learn digital signal processing (from the well-documented code and extra documentation). To make it easy to hack, it is Arduino-compatible.

You can create art and beauty on a computer. Every human being is an artist (Joseph Beuys). Every artist is human being (Martin Kippenberger). Every human being can be a hacker (Wau Holland). Every hacker is an artist. (ST)

At OHM2013 a had a little screen protection setup with some servos, called the Automated Praying Machine (or Automated Flying Spaghetti Monster Praying Machine).
This year's version will be bigger, better and possibly even interactive. At least, i bought servos that wont start to melt after 5 minutes.

Ever heard of this thing called Big Data? No, you don't need a large cluster for that. We build personal data clusters that you can put on your desk and help you to become a Big Data expert in no time.

DAO stands for Distributed Autonomous Organisation. Simply put, as any organisation, DAO is a system of governance: set of rules by which it's elements of the system interact with each other and with other systems. We will be looking at and trying out technologies developed during the past 2 years to prototype and build DAOs.

dn42 is a big dynamic VPN, which employs Internet technologies (BGP, whois database, DNS, etc). Participants connect to each other using network tunnels (GRE, OpenVPN, Tinc, IPsec) and exchange routes thanks to the Border Gateway Protocol. dn42 can be used to learn networking and to connect private networks, such as hackerspaces or community networks. But above all, experimenting with routing in dn42 is fun!

Food is responsible for about 30% of our greenhouse gas emissions. We created a software tool to make it possible for everyone to calculate the CO₂-impact for meals. Check us out if you want to save the world ; )

Fab Lab Truck is a mobile Fabrication Lab with laser cutter, 3d printers and a vinyl cutter. We bring some materials (plexiglas, wood, etc too). You're welcome to use our laser, make your own t-shirt or use one of our 3D printers.

frida is an interactive disassembler based on LLVM and Qt. It is also Free Software! frida is cross-platform -- it can run on basically any Unixoid System as well as Mac OS X and Windows and it can handle Binarys for every architecture LLVM supports (and there are a lot of them!). It currently supports ELF and PE binaries and has some support for MachO files.

GlobaLeaks is an OpenSource Anonymous Whistleblowing Software Framework operating since 2011, developed by the folks at Hermes Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights and used for by activists, anticorruption ngo, investigative journalist groups and media. It's multi-user, multi-context with an advanced questionaries builder, ability to integrate directly into website, to run multiple whistleblowing initiatives on the same servers. Made in Python (Twisted) + Javascript (AngularJS), it's packaged as a debian application, integrated with Tor, is working towards moving encryption from server with GnuPG to client with OpenPGP.js .

Finally we inventend "Gurk" a mix of original "Gerald's Gurkenschnaps" and Mate. Gerald's Gurkenschnaps is a special liquor from our hometown Coburg.

Our first volunteers of Hackzogtum are still allive and we decided to offer probes in an open alpha market study.
Meet us anywhere at the camp wandering around with our Bollerwagen from 11:00 p.m. till the Gurkenschnaps is gone.

Here you can receive, learn, give, Peer-to-Peer massages and other well-being wonders, consult resources compiled in our homemade folders, pick-up tips & tools for body & soul balance in general and in the specific contexts of hacking and activism.

Look for our massage/movement/somatic awareness workshops, book (on site) an individual care sessions, or join us for tea time conversations: Let's explore what makes us feel good or bad and good again, spirited and strong - Let's take care of each other <3

You hack computers, I hack the law. The world needs it to be very easy to make legal requests for government information through the Freedom of Information Act. It's not! Help!
More detail and lots of design ideas in the full description.

We bring our cocktailbot which is based on the bartendro b15 kit provided by california based Partyrobotics. we want to connect to other robotics geeks/nerds as well as provide visitors with cocktail drinks. We wont charge any money though donations are welcome.

We help to organize ourself, with messages, location information, event dates and live view of what is going on at the camp.
We provide (not only) a GeoJson API where everyone can post live activities and such events can be shown on a map. We aim to visualize activites at the CCCamp using this framework, starting with temperatures of the Datenklos, Talk event details and all the stuff that you want to announce.

OTF supports technology-centric efforts that empower world citizens to have access to modern communication channels that are free of restrictions, and allow them to communicate without fear of repressive censorship or surveillance.

At the Camp, the c3voc will provide a free audio-streaming infrastructure for everybody who wants to transmit music, sound or noise to the world wide webs. Those streams will appear side-by-side with the main video- and audio-streams.

This will be a document we'll be able to take from Camp. We'll meet to discuss our idea of geekness and hacking, and how to start meeting regularly to create/invent new ways of living hacking.
Maybe look at the Riot Code Grrrl Manifesto: https://rarlindseysmash.com/posts/riot-code-grrrl-manifesto as a reference?

The 2015 Camp Badge is the rad1o and contains a full-featured SDR (software defined radio) transceiver, operating in a frequency range of about 50 MHz - 4000 MHz, and is software compatible to the HackRF

By way of silicone molding, we create sleeves for the rad1o badges. Pay us a visit and learn about silicone molding! We'll bring enough silicone to create about 70-100 sleeves. One of these could be yours, made by yourself!

We are dedicating the resources of our village for workshops, talks and gatherings on topics related to one of the most important topics of our time: finding solutions for helping a surge of people on the run from war and conflict, famine and poverty and other disastrous conditions. Lets gather to discuss how the technical community can provide support for people in dire need.
Sunday, August the 16th will be Refugee Action Day at camp. Join us!

The idea of “deterministic” or “reproducible” builds is to empower anyone to verify that no flaws have been introduced during the build process by reproducing byte-for-byte identical binary packages from a given source.

RoboCup is an international initiative with the aim to promote robotics and AI. The vision is to develop a team of fully autonomous robots, which would win a soccer game against the most recent FIFA champion by 2050. Our team just returned from the RoboCup world championship in China. Drop by and see humanoid robots play soccer.

We will host a workshop for building a sleep mask that helps to induce lucid dreams by sending light or sound cues to the dreamer while dreaming. There are many projects out there, commercial (e.g. REM-Dreamer, Remee) and open ones as well (e.g. Luziduino), completed and unblushingly long overdue ones like Luciding and Aurora.

We have all the stuff and research in place to build a cheap and open, working prototype sleep hacking mask from scratch during the camp in a workshop that can:

detect REM sleep

send light or sound cues while REM sleep is on

fit without slipping out of place or disturb sleep
As the mask must fit well, it has to be invidually adapted for each wearer, even better be build by the wearer themselves.

strichliste (ʃtʀɪçˈlɪstə, German word for tally sheet) is a tool to replace a tally sheet inside a hackerspace. It is the first project developed by members of the bamberg hackerspace, backspace.
It’s aim is to provide a no-frills, easy-to-setup and -to-use solution for managing your organization’s snack bar.

TimVideos.us is a group of exciting projects which together create a system for doing both recording and live event streaming for conferences, meetings, user groups and other presentations.

At CCCamp15 we hope to concentrate on our HDMI2USB project, which aims to create fully open capture hardware for conference and user group recording. Our current boards are based around a Spartan 6 FPGA, making hardware problems software!

We'll also be collaborating on Voctomix with the C3VOC team and looking at using the Rad1o to capture from wireless microphones.

IPv6 is history. Here come cryptographic routing systems that allow for a GNU Internet that has no authorities to ask for IP numbers, domains, certificates. We choose end-to-end authenticity and security, anonymous and invisible to surveillance agents. We coded ourselves more than one such routing system, now it is time to explain…

how would a new Internet work

why it is the answer

how to get started using it

how to adapt applications to operate in distributed thinking

how to get people onto the streets asking for an Internet upgrade

how to shut down the mass surveillance nightmare and get back to having fun again

WebTorrent is a streaming torrent client for node.js and the browser. YEP, THAT'S RIGHT. THE BROWSER. It's written completely in JavaScript – the language of the web – so the same code works in both runtimes.
